Interesting that wasp queens (hornet and wasp are basically synonyms) last only one season while bee queens last for several.
Ant and termite queens can allegedly live longer, even decades. What an existance!

While you are correct in your usage of “wasp queens” when talking about hornets, it’s because hornets are a type of wasp. It’s important to know the distinction if you share a habitat with both, though (even if just to know what type of nest is growing under your awnings).
